to continue to be so washington. i know folks, when we are in town, they spend a lot of time reading the polls and looking at focus groups and interpreting which party has the upper hand in november in 2012, and so on and so on and so on. that is their obsession. i am not a pundit. i'm just the president. take it for what it is worth. i do not believe the american people want us to focus on our job security. they want us to focus on their job security. [applause] i do not think they want more partisanship or more obstruction. they did not send us to washington to fight each other in some sort of political cage match to see who comes out alive. that is not what they want. they sent us to washington to work together and get things done, to solve the problems they are grappling with every single day. i think your constituents would want to know that, despite the fact that it does not get a lot of attention, you and i have actually worked together on a number of occasions. there have been times when we have acted in a bi

this is from today's"washington journal." continues. host: our guest is ever ever. professor at penn state. thanks for joining us. how serious of a threat do we face from i ran's nuclear capabilities? guest: i don't view it's a serious threat. it needs to be dealt with. what we know about the iran look - nuclear. they're trying enrich uranium. as far as we know. iran has enriched uranium to 3-4 percent the level required for civil reactor fuel but is nowhere near the level to have weapons grade this material. iran is not forbidden to do that by the nonproliferation treaty and they believe it is their right to be able to develop these fuel cycle capabilities. this is not an eminent threat. there's no sign that i ran has nuclear weapons today and my own view is that, what iran might like to achieve at some point is something that you might describe as a nuclear option where they would have mastered many of the cape biments would would need to assemble nuclear weapons but i see no evidence they've actually taken a decision to go all the way to weaponization. so i think

as far as messagewise, i think that once president obama is back in washington, we'll see more presence and we'll have more stepped-up communication about these events than we had when he was vacationing. presidents do have a right to take vacations. things always happen when they are away. >> republicans last week, there was some within the republican party. i heard from a number of strategists who said maybe it wasn't such a good idea for dick cheney or congressman hoekstra to be as sort of sharp in their criticism of president obama given the country that is already upset that this happened and that there was this sort of lapse. it sort of gets to the old sort of axiom when somebody's shooting themselves in the foot if you are a political rival you simply get out of the way, you don't say anything. >> you know, that's an interesting criticism. i think that the democrats are in a very defensive crouch obviously on domestic matters, on the economy, on health care, and something like this which is so frightening and obviously exposed serious lapses in our security. then of course, as i
